If design is about communicating with prospective clients more effectively, then it follows that I consider communication with my clients of paramount importance during the design process. As an independent designer, I never outsource any aspect of my projects; I ensure accountability by working personally with my clients, operating direct lines of communication unfettered by account managers, sales staff or customer service personnel – I am never further away than a telephone call or email. Most importantly, I listen to what you have to say. I regard my clients as partners in the design process – not passengers.

I can provide the reassurance that my holistic design approach - from discussing, compiling and refining an initial brief; the advice and support to help you identify your goals, to consider your market and competitor base; working with you to agree a project strategy; and the industry-honed experience that goes into conceptualising and realizing your design vision; and finally embedding your new business identity throughout your communications - is a tailor-made process, personally managed and unique for you and your business.

This uniqueness is key if your business identity is to be effective and stand out amongst your competitors, and my creative process is tailored to each client to ensure the individuality of each design. My studio is not a production line of similar ‘designs’ which are offered to every visiting client for the price of lunch, and I offer rationale and explanation for each design I present – I don’t send random images without meaning and leave the client sole responsibility to choose what they think might be effective for their business.

This combination of expertise, creativity and guidance is what sets a professional apart from the glut of amateur and mass-produced ‘anti-design’ that currently floods the market.

I’m passionate about all areas of business design and this shows in my proven ability to equip clients from all over the world, in all sectors of business and all stages of corporate development – from start-ups to established brands - with effective and successful design – from true ‘blank-slate’ design and strategic marketing guidance for hundreds of new business clients, to remodeling established branding and putting a fresh spin on the whole gamut of web or paper based design. My considered and multi-faceted approach – for example, combining traditional pencil sketching with the latest industry-standard design software - and the time and commitment I will invest in understanding you and your business’s unique elements, will combine to ensure the development of intelligent solutions with artistry, individuality, rationale and wit that stand up to any scrutiny.

I’d like to invite you to peruse my logo design portfolio for some samples of my recent work, including client comments and rationale behind the designs. A portfolio is always the benchmark of any designer and I hope the quality of work is evident and meets your approval.
